too much prolube...

McLube is pretty good. I put some on the mast track of my 14 and the main goes up 10x easier now, I would def always do this after seeing the difference.

My crew though it would be a great idea to put it in the daggerboard without telling me... This was fine until we binned it on a gybe and I tried to right it! The boat was just impossible to get back up again, it was like a daggerboard made out of ice or something. Prob took about 10mins to right it again. I was not impressed  

Do not do this.

read the racing rules its illegal!

Probably wouldn't actually make any difference. If the surface is smooth enough for there to be laminar flow the actual coeffecient of fritcion of the surface is probably pretty much irrelevant, and if the foils aren't smooth it certainly wo't help... Personally I have enough trouble not slipping off a properly polished daggerboard to want to put a lubricant on...
